 Tighten battery cables or copper bars using the torque specified in the battery
documentation. Insecure connection of battery bolts may cause excessive voltage drop or
even overcurrent leading to battery overheating.
Short Circuit Protection
Battery short circuit will produce a strong spike in current and release a large amount of heat
energy that may cause bodily injury and property damage.
Disconnect running batteries before other operations whenever possible.

BSC6900
Flammable Gas Protection
 Do not use unsealed lead-acid batteries.

 Lead-acid batteries should be positioned and secured horizontally for normal hydrogen
discharge to avoid combustion or equipment corrosion.
Improper usage of lead-acid batteries will cause the release of flammable gas. Ensure that
batteries are kept in a well-ventilated area and take preventive measures against fire.
Leakage Protection
Battery overheating causes deformation, damage, and electrolyte spillage.

 If the battery temperature exceeds 60 °C (140 °F), check for and promptly handle any
leakage.
Use a neutralizing liquid to absorb any electrolyte spillage. Exercise caution when handling
the leaking battery because the electrolyte can cause injury.
 When removing or moving the battery with spilled electrolyte, be careful with the
electrolyte that can bring potential injury. If any electrolyte spills, use NaHCO3 or
Na2CO3 to neutralize and absorb it.
Battery Discharge Protection

After batteries are installed, ensure that the fuse or circuit breaker is disconnected before
powering on the system. This avoids battery damage caused by power discharge in case of
long-term power-off.
1.4.3 Requirements for Non-Rechargeable Batteries

 If discoloration, deformation, overheating, or any other abnormality occurs, replace the
batteries before continuing with usage, charging or storage.
 Do not attempt to replace non-removable, built-in batteries. Doing so may damage the
batteries or the equipment. Batteries must be replaced by an authorized service center.
 Do not throw batteries into fire.

BSC6900
1.5 Radiation Safety

1.5.1 Electromagnetic Field Exposure
Strong electromagnetic signals harm human health.

 Equipment like radio transmitter or associated products must be handled with
consideration of exposure to radio electromagnetic fields (electromagnetic radiation).
 Working with high-voltage equipment or facilities risks exposure to high-frequency
electromagnetic fields.
 Radio service carriers and other users must comply with local laws and regulations when
deploying wireless base station transceivers, or other equipment or facilities.
 Re-evaluate the risk of electromagnetic field exposure prior to equipment structure or
antenna modification.
 Re-evaluate the risk of electromagnetic field exposure prior to modification of radio
frequency (RF) output specifications or parameters.
 Re-evaluate the risk of electromagnetic field exposure prior to modification of the site
environment where equipment or facilities are located.
Restricted Areas
An area with excessive electromagnetic field exposure is considered hazardous and must be at
a specified distance away from the equipment or facility as stipulated by related exposure
control limits. This distance controls exposure to the electromagnetic field by personnel or the
public. Maintain this distance with measures including but not limited to:
 Plan to situate the equipment or facility in an area inaccessible and undisclosed to the
public.
 Allow only authorized and trained personnel to access the site.
 Before entering the restricted area, personnel should be aware that it is restricted and
shut down the transmitter.
 Set clear signs at the site to remind personnel that the area is restricted.
 Conduct regular post-installation monitoring and checks.
 Set effective physical shields and warning signs in all areas with excessive
electromagnetic field exposure.
 Install an isolating device around the equipment structure.
 Comply with local regulations during operation.
Installation and Usage of a Wireless Base Station Transceiver

A base transceiver station (BTS) is designed to emit less RF electromagnetic radiation than
the maximum standard hazardous limit. A normal working BTS is therefore not harmful to the
public and operating personnel. Defective antenna cables or other defects may however result
in the emission of excessive RF electromagnetic radiation.
Personnel must abide by the following rules during BTS installation and operation:

BSC6900
 Read through all safety recommendations and comply with local regulations before
proceeding.
 Before installing or maintaining an antenna close to the tower or mast with a BTS and its
antenna, contact related personnel to switch off the antenna transmitter.
 Personnel at the site should carry a radiation monitoring and alarm instrument.
To shield the public from electromagnetic field exposure, abide by the following guiding
principles during BTS antenna site installation:
 Install rooftop antennas out of reach of human activity.
 Install rooftop transmission antennas away from areas with high traffic, such as the
rooftop access point, telephony service point, and HVAC equipment.
 Install rooftop directional antennas on the periphery and facing away from buildings.
 Choose the most suitable antenna size by balancing better signal coverage with less
visual impact.
 Install antennas as far away as possible without compromising local area requirements.
 Exercise caution when constructing a common installation site for antennas from
different manufacturers, especially high-power broadcasting (FM/TV) antennas.
Installing antennas in one site increases safety risks.
 Take special preventive measures at antenna sites next to hospitals or schools.
Usage of Other Wireless Equipment

 Apply the safe distance from electromagnetic field exposure specified by any related
equipment manual.
 Such distance is not specified for equipment with low RF transmit power that meets
electromagnetic field exposure requirements.
 Such distance is not specified for specially-designed equipment that meets
electromagnetic field exposure requirements for working in close proximity.
Usage of High-voltage Equipment or Facilities

 Since only high voltages (such as over 100 kV) generate harmful electromagnetic fields,
the usage of such equipment or facilities must be evaluated according to requirements.
1.5.2 Laser Radiation
When handling optical fibers, do not stand close to or look into the optical fiber outlet directly
without eye protection.
Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

BSC6900
 A laser transceiver is used in optical transmission system and related test tools. The laser
transmitted through unterminated optical fibers or connectors has very high power
density and is invisible to human eyes. A beam of light can cause damage to the retina.
 Looking into the end of an exposed optical fiber or broken optical fiber without eye
protection from a distance of more than 150 mm (5.91 in.) will not cause eye injury.
However, eyes may be damaged if an optical tool such as a microscope, magnifying
glass, or eye loupe is used to view a bare optical fiber end.
 Observe the following precautions to avoid laser radiation hazards:
− Only trained personnel are authorized to operate the laser.
− Wear protective goggles during laser or optical fiber operation.
− Disconnect the light source before disconnecting optical fiber connectors.
− Use optical fiber caps to protect the disconnected optical fiber connectors.
− Use an optical power meter to measure optical power and verify that the light
source is disconnected.
− Do not look into an exposed optical fiber or connector terminal until the light
source is off. Immediately install dust-proof caps onto exposed optical fiber
connectors.
− Ensure that the optical fibers and light source are disconnected before fiber cutting
or splicing.
− Ensure that there is no laser radiation before opening the front door of the optical
transmission system.
− Do not view optical fiber terminals or connectors with a microscope, magnifying
glass, or eye loupe.
1.6 Mechanical Safety
